This could NEVER happen under a Trump presidency:
-
Afghanistan withdrawal to give the country back to the Afghani people with enough military fire power to protect themselves while getting their country up and running.
-
Economic/Electronics standstill with chip shortages while Taiwan shuts down chip production as they systematically rid their electronics of Chinese parts/code.
-
Supply chain crisis and cargo ships stalled at sea and banned from docking because of reasons in order to prevent Chinese crap flooding our market in order to initiate collapse of CCP economy, which is happening now.
All of these "catastrophes" that Americans are screaming about needed to happen during Biden's fake presidency for optics. And it helps to get the norms to the precipice.
If I'm missing other pieces of the puzzle, please add your ideas.
(All these ideas came from the anonymous collective, so I can't take credit.)
Well I have to take exception to your #1. We didn't exactly give weapons to the PEOPLE of Afghanistan, they were abandoned to the Taliban, who most certainly don't represent the majority of the people in that country. It's a clusterfuck and no amount of rationalization can change that or make it seem better.
Except, what if the people of Afghanistan are actually ok with the Taliban governing? Remember, the Taliban wanted to and tried to burn the poppy fields to stop being exploited by other countries/CIA for the drug trade. What if we've just been told that that the people hate the Taliban. "One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist."
Taliban has also told the Afghan farmers not to grow poppies next year, but grow saffron (the world's most expensive spice) instead. The Afghan farmers are actually happy and relieved about this. No more getting robbed by the drug handlers they had to deal with. Now they'll be able to sell their product legally in any country and there is HUGE demand for saffron all over the world. They never profited off poppies because the drug smugglers left them barely enough to scrape by.

If saffron is a high value crop, won't that be stolen by the gangs, too? This happens with avocados in countries where that is one of the top exported goods.
